Roland Owie, a former Chief Whip of the Senate, has defected to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
He was the National Leader of the Action Democratic Party (ADP).
The former lawmaker made announcement at his home town, Ilobi-Isi, near Ehor, Uhunmwonde LG in Edo, NAN reports.
He urged his supporters to work for the reelection of Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Owie, a PDP founding member, recalled that he and others including ex-President of the senate, late Chuba Okadigbo, were forced out of the party.
He said recent developments in the polity ignited his conviction to realign with positive and progressive mainstream political forces.
Owie revealed that over the past 15 months, he consulted political associates, former colleagues and elder statesmen on Nigeria’s state of affairs.
Owie noted that a recurring issue that emanated from the meetings “was the need for all founding members of the PDP to return to the party so that it can achieve its strategic goal of emancipating Nigerians”.
